Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 317 The Examination of the Toad Emperor

Yu Xiaogang listened to Toad Tang San's words in a daze.

That attitude, that tone, was utterly cold.

Watching Tang San's departing figure, Yu Xiaogang slammed his fist on the bed: "Tang San, you scoundrel!"

"They used to respect and love me, but now that they see I'm useless, they discard me like trash."

Yu Xiaogang cursed inwardly. Now that he was in this state, he was already very sensitive, and the words of Toad Tang San just now had a bit of emotion to them.

It's understandable that he would think that way.

After all, people with physical disabilities often subconsciously believe that people look down on them...

Yu Xiaogang deserves what he got.

Even if he was unwilling, Toad Tang San had already left, leaving him alone in this silent lament...

Just as Toad Tang San left, a guy with golden hair walked into Yu Xiaogang's room.

When he returned and saw that Xiao Wu was still sleeping, Toad Tang San felt relieved. Back in his room, he finally had the opportunity to examine the divine test he had received.

Following the method given by the Evil Emperor, Toad Tang San gently bit his finger and dripped a drop onto his forehead.

In an instant, Toad Tang San found himself in a mysterious and enigmatic space.

"Child, you've come!"

An ancient and mysterious voice resounded in this space.

"This is... a mental space?" Toad Tang San looked around warily, realizing that the other party had actually allowed him to enter a mental space.

He truly is a god!
"Senior...Senior!"

Tang San, the toad, called out respectfully.

The place was shrouded in a gray haze, devoid of any color, like a chaotic void, and there echoed that deep, ancient voice.

"Your name is Tang San!"

"You... are not suitable to be my successor!"

The aged voice rang out again, its tone filled with dissatisfaction towards Toad Tang San.

Not suitable... Not suitable!

If I'm not a good fit, why did you choose me? And why did you tell me how to get in?
Tang San's heart sank to the bottom. He was not suitable; he was not suitable to be the successor of this god.

"forward……"

Tang San the toad moved his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat. Despair, naked despair, he never expected that obtaining the Vast Ocean Universe Cover would lead to this result!
"Then please let me out, senior."

Tang San, the toad, looked dejected. Since there was no chance, he might as well leave as soon as possible. He would try to deceive Ning Fengzhi and the others if he could.

As long as you become strong, even if you know you've been deceived, you can escape and then take revenge later.

Tang San, the toad, immediately began to think things through. He had already devised a plan for the future. He couldn't let go of the resources, and he would do his best to deceive them, even if it meant using a lie.

The Evil Emperor had been monitoring Toad Tang San all along. His immense spiritual power had long since invaded Toad Tang San's mind. If the Evil Emperor wanted to, he could kill Toad Tang San with the slightest movement.

But he won't do that; he hasn't even started torturing this guy yet.

"hehe!"

“Child, although my divine position is not suitable for you, it does not mean that my friend’s divine position is not suitable.”

The Evil Emperor's voice rang out again, and Toad Tang San's eyes lit up. Was there a glimmer of hope after a period of despair?
Suppressing his excitement, Toad Tang San spoke up, "Please speak frankly, senior!"

"There is no one in that place who is suitable for my divine position."

"And I chose you because I have a 'good friend,' the first-level god, Toad Emperor! (Just kidding, since he's the emperor, naturally he'd want to mess with Toad Three, who's living a pretty good life.)"

"His divine position is very compatible with yours. That's why I chose you." The Evil Emperor's voice rang out again, explaining to Toad Tang San.

Tang San, the toad, was delighted: "Senior, what is a Level One God? Is it more powerful than you?"

"Hehe, a first-level god is only below a god-king, and there are only five god-kings in the god realm!"

"If you don't want to, then so be it."

Upon hearing this, Toad Tang San nodded hurriedly and pleaded, "I want it, I want it, senior! I think the Toad Emperor is perfect for me."

With that, Toad Tang San knelt down: "Please help me, senior!"

"Good, good, my 'friend' would be very pleased to know that he has a successor like you."

"Next, I will teach you and begin your inheritance!"

As soon as the Evil Emperor finished speaking, the originally pitch-black mental space suddenly became bright, and the darkness gradually turned into a ghostly green. With a loud bang, a huge statue appeared in this space.

The statue was clearly a giant green toad, and its appearance was exactly the same as when Tang San, the toad, possessed him.

They're completely cut from the same mold.

After all, it was a replica based on the appearance of Tang San, the toad, when he transformed into a toad. Moreover, it wasn't real; it was all imitated by the Evil Emperor using his mental power.

In this place, he is the ruler, and doing these things is incredibly easy for him.

The toad statue suddenly appeared, and Tang San, the toad, was astonished by this divine skill. Is this a god? Is this the power of a god?

His face was full of joy. "It's done!" he asked. "Senior, what should I do?"

Excitedly, Toad Tang San ran to the miracle to examine it. "Is this the Toad Emperor? It's perfect for me!"

If I were to inherit its legacy, wouldn't I become the number one person below the God-King?

Seeing that Tang San had successfully taken the bait, the Evil Emperor smiled wickedly and then said seriously, "Kneel down and kowtow until the Toad Emperor officially agrees."

Without the slightest hesitation, Toad Tang San immediately knelt down and began kowtowing repeatedly.

He looked just like a cat seeing a mouse.

The Evil Emperor sneered and took out a soul tool, which Xu Xin had specially made: a memory soul tool.

Its function is very simple: it's just for recording, and it's high-definition recording with no blind spots from all 360 degrees.

It can only be used once, but Xu Xin made many and gave them all to the Evil Emperor.

Xu Xin didn't take out the special reward from the Soul Master Competition: a level seven soul tool; it was completely unnecessary.

If it were taken out, Ning Fengzhi and his people would definitely be on guard.

The Evil Emperor naturally recorded these things.

It's not for any other reason than to disgust Ning Fengzhi and his group later, to show them what kind of bastard they've been supporting.

Tang San, the toad, kowtowed 999 times before the toad statue began to glow green.

With a whoosh, the green light shone into Tang San's brow: "Senior... am I healed?"

Tang San, the toad, was panting heavily, exhausted, and listless, as if he had suffered endless torment.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

The next moment, a dark green light burst forth in the space.

[The Toad Emperor's First Test: Immerse yourself in toad pus for 99 days. Reward for completion: 10% compatibility with the Toad Emperor]

Tang San was immediately bewildered. What was toad pus?
What is compatibility?
"Senior, what are all these?"

Tang San, the toad, asked in confusion. This was something only the inheritors knew, so it was normal that he didn't know it.
